Featured: Issue 16.4, “Profiles,” Featured: Issue 16.4, “Profiles,” Elba Raquel - Painter and Muralist and 2024 Content Emerging Artist Awardee
Each year, SVCreates recognizes the region’s finest early-career artists through the Content Emerging Artist Award. These artists are committed to developing their art forms and enriching the greater Santa Clara County region with exhibitions, performances, presentations, and service.
Featured in upcoming Issue 16.4, “Perform,” Painter and Muralist, Elba Raquel is one of two 2024 Content Emerging Artists, receiving $5,000 to continue the development of their art form in addition to being recognized for their unique artistic vibrancy.
“Growing up, Elba Raquel was a daydreamer. When asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, she would reply with professions such as detective, writer, or world traveler. She shares, “I have a restless mind and a zest for life. My parents were protective of us growing up, but I always wanted to live a more exciting life.” As far back as she can remember, she loved drawing. When preparing for college, she knew “it was either going to be writing or art. I chose art because it was the only thing that fulfilled me 100 percent.” Through art, she could investigate the subjects she painted, travel to a world of her own creation, and tell stories through her imagery.”
The 2024 SVCreates Content Emerging Artist Awardees will be celebrated at Pick-Up Party 16.4 on Thursday, August 22.
